  • such a happy piece of music!

    

  • Intro-Melodie von Fernsehkritik-TV bis einschließlich Folge 11. ^^

  • Yes it's a number by Ronnie Binge. Got many plays on BBC Light Programme in the 50's. RB proposed constructing a 'sweeping string' sound to Mantovani and it became the latter's hallmark of course. The other Ron - Goodwin - was quite a card. I saw him conduct (mostly his own) compositions in Norwich's Theatre Royal with a big orchestra in the 70's ... 633 Squadron, Where Eagles Dare, Battle of Britain, etc. His chatty commentary was very amusing, I recall.

  • It is ironic that such a charming and delicate melody is named after one of the most brutal ages in British History. It was not uncommon for 'criminals' 'witches' and 'enemies of the state' to be burned alive at the stake or hung, drawn and quartered in public. Henry VIII, 'Bloody Mary' and Elisabeth I were all closely related... ...and the mafia and those other well known Italians the Borgias are criticised as 'dysfunctional families'!

  • This version was by Ron Goodwin not Ronald Binge. Binge wrote the piece of music but this was NOT him im afraid

  • This is RONALD BINGE a composer from Derby England

  • I LOVE this!!! Can listen to it all day!!

  • @ECKAngels411 Me too. I absolutely love this and have been replaying it over and over.

  • SIR RON GOODWIN - WHY WAS THIS NEVER ARRANGED

    When you think of the yo yo's that have been knighted, they have never honoured the greatest british film composer !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • I am a big fan of Ron Goodwin, but this is not by him! It's by Ronald Binge. It's a cracking piece of music though. Check out Ronald Binge's 'The Watermill' as well - stunning.

  • elizabethan serenade in a coal mine

  • Love this - reminds me of my lovely mum who passed away 10 days ago she gave me a CD with it on as I always loved it as a child XXXXX

  • really stunning piece of music , i remember as a child my parents had a vinyl 45 r.p.m of this . i asked for it to be played every sunday .

  • I forgot about this piece (which used to come on the radio - a choral version, I think) for literally decades, then it popped into my head and I had no idea what it was called or who wrote it. I caught up with it on the radio, finally, but it's only now that I can listen to it whenever I want!

  • makes me think of my lovely mum ans sisters in England

  • Where is Dublin4theblues lately? Gone to London to visit the Queen or simply can't afford internet connection anymore?

  • @thepussis02 oh god don,t encourage him !!

  • pure talent very uplifting would like to dedicate this to all who feel sad or lost or lonely

    a peice of heaven in a very sad world

  • gisellewilding ? Mans deliberate destruction, bizarre please explain.This is a disrespectful statement as it stands. One should not make light of disasters as they affect so many people, you simply make an idiot of yourself as you have.

  • As the river Avon is surrounded by man's deliberate destruction in Christchurch New Zealand I remember singing this song in my school group to , I believe the Arch Bishop of Canterbury near the river Avon . Innocence lost.

  • Dublin4theblues. Late breaking news, Binge was Mongolian!!! How are your personal finances going love? Being in impoverished Ireland that is?

  • @thepussis02 As I have said to you, come down and live in Australia, we are swinging here, never had so much dosh.

  • @agbenartey My Mum grew up in Ghana and heard this song too when she was very young. My Grandmother would play it out on the wiireless whenever it was played on the radio. Because of the memories attatched to this song my Mum bought Roger Whittaker's version and I like it too because my Mum woild play it continuosly when I was yonger. Its such a delightful, positive song and one of my favourites!

  • I first heard this music on the radio when i was around 5yrs old in Ghana, westAfrica. I really loved it even at that early age. I did not know what its name or name of composer until i strumbled upon it on you tube recently. Amazingly its my constant search for this piece of childhood tune which has made me a lover of classical music. I could never forget it even though i heard its way back in the early 60's.

  • My dad's favourite song and he used to whistle to the tune and later I learn to whistle but not as good as him. Sadly, now, I have is just a memory of and this beautiful tune.

  • I recall as clearly as yesterday a time many years ago when I was a young boy of three years of age returning from morning mass with my mother only to hear this tune on the radio in the kitchen .It played while my mum served up breakfast and I can still recall so vividly the aroma of the freshly toasted bread and the OLD TIME marmalade my mum spread on her toast. Such splendid and nostalgic memories.. My mum is now 94 years old and is still hail and hearty TG.

    Thanks for posting this gem.

  • I knew someone once, a kinder person you could never meet. This was her favorite tune. Her name was Dorothy, God rest her.

  • Lovely piece of classical music !!

  • spot the theiving,lying,travelling gypo yet....you know the ones who come from oirland,to sponge off the english taxpayer..round them up and kick them out...robbing pensioners the catlick scum.......oirland is now officially a peat bog nothing more nothing less...and long may it remain so.....and a happy new year.

  • hey people, poor old marmaduke9 is 48. poor sad fat unemployed middle-aged nobody stuck in a loveless marriage, so he comes in here to take his frustrations out on whatever he can rant at. best thing is to ignore the poor little english chav. he has serious issues, as clearly demonstrated by his 'comments'.

  • Happy New Year to all the world, except eng-er-land. btw, Binge was German.

  • AH that was lovely

  • this rminds me of my mum

  • @MarkMercurius < ~~ PERVERT ALERT!

  • I Love this TUNE!!!

  • I love this, thanks for uploading - took me ages to work out what it was called.

  • Beautiful classic brings back wonderful memories...thanks for posting.

  • I am awaiting an answer in a different language, Dublin for the blues because, his country is broke!

  • DB for the blues. You have no concern for Mr Saunders son (Saunders is an English name). Do you like to be hated? Some very special person died and you made light of it, well that tells you a lot about DB for the blues.

  • absolutely beautiful to behold.

  • It's by Ronald Binge, not Ron Goodwin.

    Mind you, I used to think this piece was by Tchaikovsky. Ouch.

  • It's by Ronald Binge, not Ron Goodwin.

    Mind you, it once fooled me into thinking it was Tchaikovsky. Ouch.

  • @RichardBBudd Written by Ronald Binge, yes. But I think you'll find that the most famous recording (this one?) was performed by the Ron Goodwin Orchestra.

  • @MrJamesSanders. Sorry to hear about your brother. Hope this piece of music gives you comfort.

  • Beautiful German tune

  • @dublinblue4 have you read mein kampf yet. ? you can buy bottles of hitler wine in northern italy you know,you ought to go and stay with you nazi friends.

  • @dublinblue4 CUNT !!,sorry,bankrupt oirish CUNT !! You fucking scroungers,grovelling to the EU for a fucking handout.celtic tiger,morelike a fucking celt pussy!!

  • @marmaduke9

    Marmy, chill a little. Anyone reading your sweet words might think you are racist. Let your gentle side show so we can see you who you really are.

  • @joe24tenfifty8 Only responding to yet ANOTHER bitter irish prick.Why can't you people just listen to a piece of music without bringing all your narrow minded bigotry to the discussion? It's just a nice piece of music.Btw my mums irish.

  • @dublinblue4 Ronald Binge, who was English wrote it, so how on earth does this make it a great German tune you uneducated fool?

  • DB4 - Sie sind ein sehr dummer ire.

  • Comment removed

  • Dublin4theblues. Still waiting for an entrance in the Irish language. Oh ok, you can do it in German if you can.

  • There's a lovely version of this tune by Eva Lind. Sung in the beautiful german language, as Binge was greatly influenced by the excellent German composers, as is evident in this tune. Bravo, Herr Binge.

  • @dublinblue4 Hey, we are Anglo saxons (german tribe) and damn proud of it too.Christ,to think we could have ended up being celts,ugghhh!

  • DB4. How could he call it 'The Bavarian serenade'. Binge as a brit was a passionate brit and wrote very, very much in the english style, go back to Handel if you like to spout the german, he was their countryman and abandoned them but composed very much in the English style. By the way is your economy any better? I would hate to think that you were suffering. 46 years old, got bugger all! Drunk all the time.

  • Comment removed

  • Really shows just how a person that engages U-tube can manipulate the system. Dublin4theblues is contemptuous and hated, look at the previous dozen pages or so.

    Yet U-tube will allow a person to 'thumbs up' a persons own comments and become highly rated. The idiot shit has no more brain than a stone or a christian.

  • Comment removed

  • Binge was greatly influnced by the great German composers, as is evident in this offering. It sounds far more German than anything else, hence it's appeal. Eva Lind's version is well worth a listen. This should be called Bavarian Serenade.

  • Dublin4theblues. Despite your obvious lack of any decent or indeed any obvious education, it would appear that you well and truly embrace the English language.

    Given your distain for all that is English, I would like you to exhibit your multi-lingual skills and construct your next entry in a different language, try IRISH, my grandmother could speak her native tongue, can you?

  • Theres a wonderful German version by Eva Lind, sung in a real language, not the appalling back-to-front mish-mash that passes for english. Well worth a listen.

  • Bravo, Herr Binge. Beautiful German tune. Too good for a bunch of mongrels like the english. 

  • Binge Binge Binge, sounds like a bouncing bomb, they were English.

  • Dublin4theblues. Were you drunk again or was your spelling just a result of your pathetic christian Irish education?

  • I heard this tune when I was a child But didn't know then'What it was called.I discovered this by accident'When I was flicking through some stuff on Youtube.WELL DONE YOUTUBE!!..What a Beautiful Tune..!!

  • Does someone know where i could find the partition of this music for violin? thx

  • Beuatiful German tune. Only pity is it's called after some mad english queen (another one) instead of something German. Still beautiful, though. Bravo, Herr Binge.

  • What a wonderful tune. I am in awe of what this true englishman has created in his life (his father died in war for our land), the inventor of Mantovani's 'cascading strings'. Very much of English inspiration and English taste. Mantovani, yes the Americans are very much inspired by English music, the Beatles I seem to think had some influence.

  • Binge attributed his influnces to the great German composers, and it's easy to see why. This tune is very Germanic in it's origins, although the english try to claim it as theirs. 'What, you say, the english taking something thats not theirs?' Who'd have thought! Beautiful German tune.

  • @dublinblue4 dublin ahh says it all thick irish git

  • Wonderful German tune by Eva Lind and Die Fischer Chóre. Well worth a listen.

  • Born into a poor family in Derby, England in 1910, Ronald Binge had to learn music the hard way after his father died from injuries sustained in WW1 (as a British soldier) as his family had no money. His film music career began in '27 when he joined the orchestra of the Cosmo Cinema in Derby. In 1932 he moved to London. Today, Binge is remembered for composing the melodies Elizabethan Serenade (1952) and Sailing By (1963). He died of cancer in 1979.

  • SERIOUS ADVICE TO PEOPLE READING AND WRITING COMMENTS. DESPITE YOUR FURY, PLEASE IGNORE DUBLIN4THEBLUES. HE IS MERELY A CHILD SEEKING ATTENTION.

  • Our observations were accurate Jedsonbass73. He has posted another inflammatory comment to elicit derogatory response.

  • Beautiful tune by the German composer Ronald Binge

  • Comment removed

  • When the English do things well, they really do!

  • The version by Eva Lind & Die Fischer Chóre, sung in the beautiful German language, is so much better. Far nicer to listen to than anything the appalling english could offer. It's like listening to a language as it should be spoken or sung, as opposed to the mish-mash that passes for english.

  • @dublinblue4 well you irish would like the german language as you supported them in the last two wars ! eh paddy.do you think you could invite all your irish gypo friends back home as they seem to take everything that isn,t bolted down.

  • I agree Jedson. I will however ignore Dublin4theblues as should you, you are better than that.

  • Strange, after following this written discourse for some time, I am more annoyed by jedsonbass73 these days rather than Dublin4blue. jedsonbass73, I thought you were a grown up.

  • @thepussis02 It's all very silly, I know, especially when we forget what this page is really about, but I just couldn't resist. I don't think you'll have to wait too long before you're more annoyed at Dublinblue4 once again!

  • Dublinblue4 wouldn't recognise a fact if it bit him on the bum!

  • beautiful

  • Comment removed

  • I absolutely love this tune.. and also Roger Whitaker's version.... where he whistles the whole thing... LOVELY :0)x

  • cor blimey!

  • @cassidy322. get your facts right. they english were, are and always will be mass murderers. they've been kicked out of almost every country in the world, and practised torture to a fine art. the atrocities they committed will never be forgotten, and if you think a beautiful piece of music makes you all civilised, you're more deluded than i thought. you are the white trash chav nation of europe. its just Ireland's, scotland's and wales' bad luck to be situated so close to you geographically.

  • @dublinblue4 WANKER!

  • This music is so cheeful. It is the happiest piece of music I know. I cannot help but feel light hearted when I listen to it.

  • @KateyM9 Hi Yes I agree such a cheerful piece of music ... when my brothers and sister were young my Mum always called it the cheer-up music. Sadly one of my brothers died suddenly and unexpectedly on Monday (53) and I have taken great comfort in thinking about this piece of music. I hope it can be included in his funeral!

  • @MrJamesSanders Hi James sorry to hear about your brother. I am glad this music has comforted you. It is inspiring and uplifiting. I think that would be a wonderful piece of Music to have played at your brothers funeral. My Church teaches that families can be togther forever so death is simply saying "God be with you till we meet again". Thats a hymn. In fact at my Grandmothers funeral it was sang. It's even on yourtube. Hope it gives you comfort also

  • @MrJamesSanders I'm so very sorry to know about your loss. This music reminds me of my late father, but they're good memories. Praying for you and your family.

  • @KateyM9 You need to listen to Grieg's Morning suite :)

  • I agree with sjalex. Ronald Binge was certainly an English composer, South Englsnd I think.

  • dublin4blue. I agree this is a heavenly tune!

  • Beautiful tune by the German composer Ronald Binge, as his name suggests.

  • @dublinblue4 ENGLISH composer.

  • @dublinblue4 English composer, born in Derby, regardless of name. Just as Gustav Holst was British, despite the name.

  • Whats all this crap got to do with a beautiful song you heathens!!!

  • Strangely enough, the first time I heard this was when we returned from Amsterdam in the early 70's and it was the tune on a revolving windmill music box!

  • cor blimey!

  • has another go at it....quintessentially English....there..better now :)

  • absolutely beautiful ....someting essentailly English about this tune. As for the angry little Dub ignore him. Yet another racist using the medium of the internet to spew his hatred. For the record I'm Irish - not like that that matters a f***k

  • Jedsonbass73  As we spoke independently about, it is high time just to ignore the mad Irishman, he won't or can't learn. Leave it now.

  • by the way, if theres any true classical music lovers here who actually appreciate the old maestros, and not just cos it reminds them of 'old england, cor blimey', the try chopin's concerto no. 1, 2nd movement. even the savage english should be moved by this masterpiece.

  • @dublinblue4 When you said: 'just this once i'll answer you' during your thesis, I thought we'd heard the last of you, and that you'd just spontaneously combust due to all that insatiable hatred inside you. Nevermind! So are you trying to impress us all as to what an educated, a cultured, well-balanced individual you are by refering to the classics? Well, Hitler was obsessed with Wagner, so a taste for classical music is hardly a trustworthy indication of a man's breeding!

  • @dublinblue4 And also... who do you think you are, matey...Dick Van Dyke?!

  • @dublinblue4 my fave singer in the whole world is irish.... ENYA, she is a lovely loving sweet individual with astonishing talent, you , my friend represent everything that is wrong with this world, a bile spewing reprobate unworthy to live in a civilised society.

  • this reminds me of when i was a kid and walked across many a farmers field and not see a living soul we would walk for miles. we Mum never had any worries about us as kids. We certainly had a lot of respect for our elders back in those days. I'd like to dedicate this to my dear old mum and dad. Love you both x

  • My dear, sweet Dublin4blue. You are an english speaking irishman are you, at least you acknowledge the supreme gift we gave you to aid you in your communication. Can you speak irish? If so please answer any entry in irish just to prove it. Much love, (because you seem to need some, seems to be a bit lacking in your life) Pussis.

  • to sum up, the best descripition of the english ive ever heard was by a french rugby player some years back. before a game against england, the smug patronising english interviewer asked the french guy 'are the english your special enemies then?' to which the frenchman answered 'the english are everyone's special enemies'. hear hear.

  • @dublinblue4 You forgot to add...'You couldn't make it up'!

  • @dublinblue4 ooh who rattled your cage ? paddy

  • the best-selling t-shirt in ireland this summer is 'i support two teams, ireland and whoever the english play' worn not only by the irish, but every other nationality too. the english seem incapable of understanding or acknowledging just how the rest of the world sees them. believe me, you have an appalling image around the world, not helped by your media and footballers. as for an early grave, i dont think so, hatred of the english is part of celtic culture, but id rather that than ever change.

  • plus, the attitude of english people when they hear an irish accent is pathetic, to say the least. they immediately become patronising and smug, and feel its ok to tell jokes-and half believe them-about the irish being stupid, when in fact the english are officially the stupidest people in europe, according to a recent poll, with the irish being third most intelligent. so its not a matter of dropping the hate, its something thats always been there historically, and always will.

  • when in actual no-one, and i mean no-one likes them at all. this was clearly illustrated by the many nationalities that live in dublin. when germany beat them you should have seen the joy on the faces of the brazillians, french, portuguses and other peoples. another thing, as an english-speaking irishman, im amazed at the change in people's attitudes when i go abroad and they find im irish, not english. they become welcoming, and the comment is always the same. sorry, thought you were english..

  • @truthoutmedia. just this once i'll answer you. the english, as an entity, live in their own little bubble far removed from the real world. they actually believe what the media drip-feed them (great british this, great british that). just look at the behaviour of boris johnson in china with his wiff-waff comments, coupled with your loutish football fans, not to mention the appalling comments of phil the greek. they actually the world loves them and they're better than johhny foreigner...

  • @dublinblue4 You need help, man!

  • @dublinblue4

    Yes, those terrible English.... what are your thoughts on the Beatles? lol

  • My very dearest Dublin4Blue, please educate me even though it be from your lowly roots, how one can love life, love music and at the same time entertain any form of hate?

  • @thepussis02 The same question I always ask myself everytime i read the rabid comments some music lovers are able to send.

  • go crawl up your queen's ass. you're good at that.

  • LOVE LIFE LOVE MUSIC HATE THE ENGLISH

  • @dublinblue4

    drop the hate man, it will only lead you to an early grave, trust me

  • Dublin4Blue my dear online pugilist companion. South Australia's problems stem as a result of the continuous flow of bog Irish convicts that were sent to the 'Australian' shores albeit not to South Australia but they flowed there and as a result remain, a lot of huns too. Mind you the country can probably afford to contain them, Australia has the best economy in the western world at present and sixth most traded currency. You delight in others answering your vile diatribe, maybe we shouldn't.

  • the SA police admit to having a problem with drugs, sex fiends and thieves, but say the situation should improve when john terry and his drunken english thugs go home.

  • well done, the SA police. no english chair-throwing thugs this time then.

  • Binge was English.

  • ITV and robert green. you couldn't make it up. only in eng-er-land.

  • Hoi Dublinblue,if the English language is so hateful to you how come it wiped out that so called language of yours ad replaced it with the one that is the most spoken throughout the world?? If you want to criticise regional

    accents start with the Oirish one you spud eating parasite. Long liveOliver Cromwell!!!!

  • actually Binge was German. the whole english race is anglo-saxon hun. even your awful language. as the wise man said, the english language was very very carefully cobbled together by three blind dudes and a German dictionary. brilliant. and most of you can't even speak properly anyway. your regional dialects are the worst in Europe. as beckham says, 'at the end of der daaaiiiiii' you couldnt make it up.

  • @dublinblue4 I thought it went...'Wise man say only fools rush in'

  • @dublinblue4

    All of this coming from the person who isn't using proper punctuation. Why don't you try talking my "awful language" properly.

  • Typo. 300 years.

  • dublinblue4. I really don't think that you had very good schooling. The 'German' English kings started with George I in 1714 and the line generally runs to present. Sax-coburg, Battenburg (changed to Mountbatten) Gotha. Englands royalty has been of the German line for close on 200 years so not an English Queen truly speaking , Binge was not German. Prince William and Harold have Stuart blood thanks to their mother (decendant of Charles II), so a return to English stock thank god.

  • @thepussis02 Actually, the Stuarts were originally a Scottish line of monarchs, not English, although as with most royal houses, there was probably a bit of everything in them! England has been ruled by foreign Kings or Queens since 1066 - but this is just an opinion, as its so complicated! But lets not forget the music. Lovely piece of work!

  • Wonderful piece of music by the english-born German Ronald Binge. Pity he didn't call it Berlin Serenade. Much more fitting than a reference to an insane english queen.

  • Dublinblue4. Click onto the selection in the side panel posted by luxyaltz in black and white, wonderful vistas of Dublin in the early days. Have you ever read James Joyce's Dubliners, my favorite book. It shows just how we should not complain these days.

  • Q. Why do the Irish dance with their hands by their side?

    A. Keep your hands where we can bloody well see them.

  • Dublinblue4. I am not sure that you are in full control of your faculties (stop drinking whilst emailing especially as you are Bi-polar). Ireland could not kick the might of England out by simply blowing up a few pubs, Ireland became too expensive to keep, lets face it, no mineral wealth, we kept the best by keeping the North and you ain't getting that back! I will help you out by compiling a list of our very finest English music for your obvious enjoyment.

  • dublinblue4. I am very surprised that you keep on returning to this part of the site. It obviously indicates your great passionate love for English music and in fact probably all things English, don't worry we will keep your fetish quiet. You know Eurovision voting is political, must agree though, the English song should have come last. It was sung by an Englishman and written by an Australian (with Irish ancestry).

  • p.s. nice to see england finish last - again- in the eurovision. shows what the world in general, and europe in particular, really thinks of the loutish english, or should i say second-hand americans. and by the way, you didnt give Ireland back, we kicked you out, as did a lot of other countries. you really are an idiot, pussis, even for a little eng-er-lander. sad.

  • Margculb. I totally agree, I become dismayed when people traduce this, my favorite piece of music of all time. Truly takes me back to my childhood in England so long ago. Yet I make no apologies for my comments on this site, I will continue to defend this piece of music from the ignorant.

  • Why not just appreciate beautiful music instead of hating things enjoy the simple things in lifel

  • I remember this fondly as a child in the UK. The music matches the feelings i had back then when i was an innocent child playing and running in fields and just loving life. All children would love this and you are right it gives an appreciaion for a vast variety of music. Life is so different today i dont think children will ever know that kind of innocence again, Its a different world

  • @margculb I remember this too as a child and it evokes such feelings of a truly innocent time, or so it seemed to a child. It always reminded me of my Grandparents, who we'd visit occasionally in Manchester, before they came to live with us. Thank you for posting your response and thanks also to mally1320 for posting the video

  • dublinblue4 - We stole Ireland fair and square, pity we gave it back. Peasants have never liked their masters. Suffer in your poor economy as I bask in my good fortune.

  • Hydronorcord. I have never experienced withdrawals but I can only guess that you are experiencing them in order to report such a reaction given such a heavenly tune to most. Your name Hydronorcord sound to me as though you are indeed torturing music yourself, give it up!

  • Only a non human experiencing withdrawal can really appreciate this music, no pain, only torture of the notes.

  • philip5966. you really need to learn how to spell properly before posting comments. still, you're an inbred english twat. illiteracy is only to be expected. officially, the english, not the british, are the most depressed, lazy, ugliest and inbred nation in europe. and they're the worst dressers with the most awful taste in food. a few good tunes and you whinge about 'old england' pathetic, but expected.

  • @dublinblue4 This rant tells us more about you, than gives any real factual information about the English!

  • @dublinblue4 This rant tells us more about you, than gives any real factual information about the English! If you want to keep spewing this tired old anti-English shit then I suggest you visit a few Braveheart pages. There are plenty folk there to share your feelings of insecurity!

  • Dublinblue4 is an idiot, this was written in 1952 for the coronation of Queen Elizabeth the second. Ron Goodwin only died seven years ago! I think Dublinblue4 is the inbred one.

  • Erinnert mich an meine frühe Kindheit, als meine Mutter am Freitagnachmittag das Wunschkonzert für die Kranken am Schweizer Radio lief. Da kam dieses wunderschöne Streichstück oft zum spielen.

  • My orchestra played this a few weeks ago! Love this piece!!

  • I have always loved this. Ron Goodwin at his best. The B side to this was "The Red Cloak."

  • I played this with orchestra for a concert a few days ago. I love this piece! The flutes are just divine!

  • to when england was england? are you nuts? england was, is and always be a stinking dump, full of inbred mutants, in elizabethan times people starved on the streets. this serenade, although beautiful, was written by and for the ruling classes. the english are a viral nation who have been thrown out of every country in the world. long may it continue.

  • @dublinblue4

    idiot

  • @dublinblue4 ufortunatley where I live most of the inbreds have come from the west.......know what I mean

  • This is such a "feel good" piece of music! Heavenly!

  • oops just caught the replay button again

  • This always reminds me of walking with my mother past the large properties on the way to the doctors .quite a regular me. i used to whistle it all the way home "dont whistle in house" she would say

  • It was actually Ronald Binge who wrote it. But Ron Goodwin's arrangement is both sublime and enchanting - he was simply a towering figure in British film music - and a very nice person too.

  • If you would like to see Ron Goodwin receive some sort of posthumous award. Please contact me. RIP Ron!

  • marched to this song at my graduation steths 97'

  • Nijmegen (NL) 1958, I was 6 years old.

    This serenade was the first symphonic melody I could recall ever after....
